Description

When a Notes mail with embedded doclinks is sent to an Internet recipient, the client by default only converts them into a complete notes:// URL if it can reliably resolve the necessary server/replica information. Otherwise, often only link text or an incomplete reference remains. EnforceFullDoclinkConversion=1 forces the client to always output a complete doclink URL – very helpful when recipients should open the link back into the client via the Notes URL handler.

Example configuration

EnforceFullDoclinkConversion=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Can also be rolled out via desktop policy – preferable in managed environments.
  • Takes effect only after a restart of the Notes client.
  • Recipients need a Notes client and the corresponding permissions to open the notes:// link – otherwise the link leads nowhere.
  • If the replica topology changes, older converted links may become broken – in that case prefer server-based links via webmail/REST.
